Malaria can hit in a week after the initial mosquito bite or else it might take several weeks to strike. If you have caught malaria you are likely to manifest the following symptoms:

- Extreme fever, even over 40C.

- Chills and sweats

- Strong headaches

- Fatigue

- Muscle ache

By now you might be ready to hit the chemicals and you’d have a case in doing so. You should definitely see a doctor to confirm what it is that you have. If you have the strain plasmodium falpicarum then you need to take steps.

The homeopathic remedies claim to be equally effective in treating malaria as in preventing it. For someone raised on Western medicine that’s probably quite hard to accept.

The main thing is to try and keep the fever down – Aspirin pills are excellent for this.
